Default Going for it.

Hello,
92 lt1. Yes it's winter time and the car sits in the garage . I was thinking in the spring of going with a high performance , blue printed, bored and stroked air freshener that hangs from the mirror. I have seen some stock ones at the gas station for 89 cents , but I'm like lets go for it . I want something that's gonna send the torque curves through the roof, some real put ya back in the seat kind of stuff. Has anybody gone thru the laborious task of installing one of these ? Should I go through the dealer ? What kind of horse power gains should I see ? I was thinking of ac delco ? Also do I need to take the car in to recalibrate the computer ? Sooooo many questions, so few answers...

They Make high performance ones that flow better for more dispersion into the air. Just make sure you spray on the right amount of oil. They flatten the torque curve and provide phantom power to the front wheels for that extra in your seat feel on hard launches. Just don't use too much oil or you may have issues with the coil needing to be cleaned.

The only scent worth dealing dealing with is NOS.

Default air freshener

an old green Christmas tree freshener sprayed with 110 octane race gas will get you what you want! Great smell

I just use the 5 pack from Wallymart. You can spray carb cleaner on it if you want your car to smell like a drag strip.

Repo man is always intense. They also find a little green tree in every car.
